Panel - Domain Analysis: From Tar Pit Extraction to Object Mania?
Steven Fraser, Spencer Peterson, Douglas C. Schmidt, Mark A. Simos, Will Tracz, Nathan Zalman · International Conference on Software Reuse · 1996
Domain Analysis has been researched, debated, and applied for fifteen years. There are many documented methods available. The collective heritage of these methods covers the spectrum from the procedurally-oriented to the object-oriented paradigms. Application focus includes re-engineering (tar pit extraction?), requirements engineering, organizational learning, reuse, class/object identification, and design pattern identification (object mania?). This panel brings together perspectives on domain analysis by five practitioner methodologists. Diverse experiences including technology insertion, stakeholder analysis, and team techniques are represented. The intent is to focus on the application of domain analysis methods. The objective of the panel is to share the experiences of the participants (both panelists and audience) and to offer practical advice.
